Today I am going to begin showing you how to choose and install a WordPress theme for your blog using Genesis Framework by StudioPress.

The Genesis Framework theme is unlike any other WordPress theme you’ve seen.

It is responsive, secure and always up-to-date with the latest version of WordPress.

All in all, the Genesis Framework by StudioPress is probably the best WordPress Theme in the blogging world right now.

What is Genesis Framework?

The Genesis Framework is a foundation for WordPress sites.

It is a framework of code that lets developer and site owners take WordPress to the next level of customization.

Think of it like this.

If WordPress is the computer processor, Genesis is the motherboard.

And Genesis’ child themes will be the sound card, graphic card and RAM that connects to the motherboard, and you can change them without affecting the processor.

And vice versa – if you want to upgrade your processor (i.e., update WordPress), you do not need to reinstall anything, because it won’t affect any other part of the computer.

What are Parent Themes and Child Themes?

The parent theme is the main structure for a blog theme, and a child theme is the blog design that overlays the parent theme and adds other custom functions.

Thus, whenever WordPress is updated, it will not affect or modify the design.

Why You Should Use Genesis Framework?

Genesis Framework is well coded, and every Genesis child theme is responsive and looks great on mobile devices.

And since WordPress is constantly updated, you don’t have to worry about your blog breaking down.

And even if you run into problems with any Genesis child theme, you can contact StudioPress by opening a ticket or going to their support forum for help.

Another way is to use Google search, because there are tons of tutorials being created by the Genesis community to solve problems for others.

Using Genesis Framework, your possibilities are endless.

As far as I know, I have not used any other theme since I started using Genesis Framework.

It is easy to use, and you can customize the child theme without torching any code.

There are many other parent themes similar to Genesis, but when it comes to support, no one is better than Genesis.
